[QUOTE="hark, post: 753413, member: 13196"] To elaborate a little more on what Walt mentioned, the light source is behind your subject - not off to the side or in front of your subject. Some examples would be putting your subject in front of a bright window, in front of the sun, or in front of artificial lights (flash, strobe, or even a post lamp or street light). From there you can choose to expose for the backlight. That means your subject will be underexposed and quite possibly be a silhouette. Depending on the scene, that might yield a really nice result. Or you can expose for your subject and have the background be overexposed. But the background should have some type of brighter light source behind your subject. EDIT: an example would be STM's winning photo for [B]Look Out[/B]. [URL]https://nikonites.com/weekly-photo-challenges/45143-voting-feb-3-9-weekly-challenge-look-out.html#axzz6mejp9z7h[/URL] [/QUOTE]
